Summary translation

This study aims to determine the most appropriate culture media for organic agriculture as well as to introduce the two most widely produced edible mushroom species, Pleurotus sajor-caju and Pleurotus ostreatus, which are cultured worldwide. In this study, wheat straw, wheat bran, paddy husk, and shredded corn-cob, and mixture of these materials in different proportions, were used as culture media. During the pasteurization of these media, steam was applied for 8 hours at 60 0C. At the end of this study, the highest mushroom yield (production) and biological activity rate was obtained by the combination of 60% wheat straw + 40% corn-cob and 95% wheat straw + 5% wheat bran.
